A morning

Good
morning

As the sun rises through her bright orange and yellow striped
curtains, she hesitantly wakes up to the new morning. She takes God's name,
misses her family, her lover and her cuddly dog whom she loves the most. She
decides to feel their warmth and shuts her eyes for some more minutes when she
is suddenly disturbed by the strong bangs on her door. Irritated, she opens the
door with sleepy eyes to find her angry friend with both hands at hip who is
shouting at her to get up. She nods obediently and again goes back to
sleep only to wake up by a fiercer and urgent bang by the same friend. This
time she has no option, but to take her red bucket, sexy pink gown and rush to
the common bathroom. To her disappointment, she finds all bathrooms filled and
sadly places her bucket in front of one. After brushing and washing face, she
is somewhat able to open her sleepy eyes. The same friend emerges from one of
the bathrooms and keeps her bucket there. She smiles, takes her bath and goes
back to her room. On her way, she carefully places her shiny red bucket exactly
in front of her pink gown till she reaches her room in order to avoid the risk
of wind unveiling her privacy. As she gets dressed, she has to keep changing
from one outfit to another to find one which fits her. She gets frustrated as
she just realizes that she has become even fatter. She curses herself for being
fat. One more bang at the door by the same indispensable friend, makes her rush
for breakfast where she carefully selects the healthiest
food available out of a couple of oily, greasy
and severely fattening foods. Happy about her healthy meal, she
promises herself to work out daily. As she runs to class, she envies
all slim girls on the way and makes up her mind to be one among them. She
forgets the fact that this is the promise she makes to herself daily in the
morning and forgets it by noon.
